Trusted HVAC Specialists in Davenport, FL

Performed a diagnostic on the Pioneer mini-split system. Tested system operation and found the unit running. Checked system pressures and measured only 36 PSI on the suction side, indicating the system is significantly low on refrigerant. Contacted property management and explained the findings, including the potential difficulty of sourcing replacement parts for this system. Recommended considering a complete system replacement due to possible parts availability issues. Property management requested a replacement proposal, and I forwarded the call to Kenneth, who will handle the proposal for the new system. I also offered a refrigerant leak search; however, Jimmy declined authorization at this time, as he is considering system replacement and needs to discuss the options with the homeowner. System Status: The unit has been temporarily taken out of service pending the homeowner’s decision regarding repair or replacement.

Performed a diagnostic on the downstairs HVAC system. The air handler was operating, and the thermostat had a display, but the outdoor unit was not running. Upon inspection, I found the contactor was receiving a call for the compressor, but no 240V high-voltage power was present. I inspected the pull-out disconnect and found that it sparked when touched, indicating a poor electrical connection. For safety, I turned off the breaker and removed the pull-out disconnect. I tightened the contact points inside the disconnect and applied dielectric grease to help improve electrical contact. After reinstalling the disconnect and restoring power, I tested the system and confirmed that the outdoor unit started and operated normally. I checked the compressor amps, condenser fan motor amps, system pressures, subcooling, superheat, and temperature split. The system is back up and running normally at this time. Maintenance Agreement and Payment: The customer signed up for a Cub Club maintenance

Performed a diagnostic on the Raypak pool heater and found that the unit was not igniting. The control display was locked, preventing access to the heater settings. I contacted the customer to obtain the access code, but she did not have it. The customer authorized removal of the lock so I could access the controls and continue troubleshooting. Upon further inspection, I found that the pilot igniter assembly was severely corroded and deteriorating. The heat exchanger was also severely corroded and falling apart. I explained the condition of the heater to the customer and advised that replacing the damaged components would likely cost more than installing a new unit. The customer declined replacement at this time. I collected the $79 diagnostic fee. For safety reasons, I left the electrical breaker in the OFF position and shut off the gas supply. The heater remains completely out of service until the customer decides how to proceed. I contacted the office to request a follow-up call

Performed a diagnostic on the downstairs unit after finding the thermostat blank. Inspected the system safety float switch and found it activated due to a drain pan filled with water. Further inspection revealed a clogged condensate drain line. Cleared the drain line using a drain snake, flushed the line with four gallons of hot water, and applied Viper drain treatment. After completing the drain cleaning, I tested the condensate drainage and checked the system temperature split to verify proper operation. The unit is back up and running, cooling and draining properly at this time.

Performed preventive maintenance in accordance with the maintenance agreement. Operated the system in cooling mode and inspected system performance, including compressor amperage, condenser fan motor amperage, blower motor amperage, temperature split, subcooling, and superheat. Removed and thoroughly cleaned the condensate pump, then applied Viper treatment to help prevent biological buildup. Disconnected and flushed the main condensate drain line to remove potential obstructions. Rinsed the condenser coil to remove accumulated debris and flushed one gallon of water through the condensate pump to verify proper drainage and operation. Upon completion of maintenance, the system was tested and confirmed to be cooling and draining properly at this time.

Performed a diagnostic on the Carrier heat pump system the air handler is 2.5 to and condenser is 3.5 ton. Upon inspection, I found the evaporator coil, suction line, and compressor area completely covered in solid ice. I shut down the compressor and allowed the system to thaw. After returning from lunch, I checked the system pressures and found the suction pressure extremely low at 48 PSI, indicating a severe refrigerant shortage. I contacted the office to report the findings and performed a complementary leak search on the evaporator coil. A leak had been detected in this coil several years ago, and the current inspection confirmed that the leak has worsened. I contacted the office, and property management approved adding refrigerant as a temporary measure. I added 5 pounds of R-410A refrigerant. After charging the system, it was operating temporarily at this time. Unit conditions are critical. Property management also requested a proposal for complete system replacement. I collec

Performed preventive maintenance on the pool heater. Checked system pressures, temperature differential, compressor amperage, fan motor amperage, capacitor, and contactor. Rinsed the condenser coil thoroughly from the inside out and outside in, removed leaves from inside the unit, and cleared debris from around the condenser pad. The system is heating properly and operating as expected at this time. Recommendation: The service ports are missing locking caps. Recommend installing locking service port caps to help prevent refrigerant leaks and protect the service ports from potential damage or tampering.

Diagnostic Report – Goodman R-22 HVAC System Performed a diagnostic on a Goodman R-22 system with a 19-year-old outdoor unit and a 16-year-old indoor air handler. The tenant reported that the system was not maintaining the desired temperature or providing sufficient cooling throughout the house. Upon inspection, I found the safety float switch displaced from its proper position, causing the system to shut down. I repositioned the float switch and tested the system in cooling mode. I checked system pressures, subcooling, superheat, and temperature split. The system started and was producing cold air. At the time of inspection, cold air was being delivered to all rooms, as confirmed during the room inspection requested by the tenant. However, the system is operating outside the manufacturer’s specifications and may not adequately maintain the desired indoor temperature. Additional Findings: * The outdoor contactor is badly pitted and requires replacement. * The capacitor is out of to

Performed a diagnostic on the pool heat pump after finding system lockout fault codes HP5 and LP5. Both codes may indicate insufficient water flow caused by a dirty or restricted filter. I turned off the water pump, removed the filter, and tested the heat pump without the filter installed. The heat pump started and operated normally. During testing, the water pressure was 15 PSI. After reinstalling the filter, the pressure increased to 21 PSI, and I tested the heat pump again. The unit started heating normally. Based on these findings, there is a high possibility that the pool filter requires cleaning or replacement. The restricted water flow may be triggering the safety lockout codes to protect the equipment from improper operating conditions. Recommendation: The pool technician should inspect the filter and clean or replace it as necessary to ensure proper water flow through the heat pump. At this time, the heat pump is operating and heating normally. However, the filter should b

Daikin HVAC Diagnostic and Repair Report Performed a diagnostic on the Daikin HVAC system and found the condenser PCB control board defective, with one of the terminals showing signs of burning. Removed and replaced the defective control board under warranty. Applied thermal paste to all terminals and installed a ProAdam surge protector on the condenser to help protect the system’s electrical components from power surges. After completing the repairs, tested the system in cooling mode and verified proper operation. The system is cooling, running, and draining properly at this time. Warranty: Replacement PCB control board covered under warranty.
